Bill and I figured we'd better pack our things up last night and load the car this morning. If we did that, then they'd say "go home" for sure. We just knew that Mason would agree that his mom and dad really needed to sleep in their own bed again. So, we took the chance, and sure enough at about 5:00 tonight, they let us come home.
Mason had a pretty good day in the hospital. He had a really great visit with his Staramama and his Great Grandma. He got to say good bye to all the tons of people coming in and out of his room all day and to the hospital that has been our home for the last week. I realize a week really isn't a long time, but since it's becoming a monthly occurrence and I didn't get home in that time, it seems like its longer.
So, we are all well equipped with a plan, with new medications, new equipment, and more oxygen. I'm sure tomorrow we will get a host of calls to set up follow up appointments, so we will be busy for the next month. As of now, the plan is to have the surgery on December 9th. Until then, we need to keep Mason "healthy" and stable, and try not to worry too much about what's to come.
I am so excited to get into my own soft bed that I'm going to cut this one short. Thanks to all of you who have continued to keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We appreciate every one of them!

I am so glad you made it home. I am a little jealous...too. Keep him healthy and take care of yourselves as well. That is the best you can do for all involved. Keeping you in our prayers.
We are thinking of you and remembering you in our prayers. It is nice to hear that you have accomplished the transition back home once again. Sometimes it seems like such a long road, but it sounds like Mason has assembled a wonderful team of medical professionals. Thank you for your faithful updates.
